We really hope that the next business class netbook from HP gets an upgrade to a wider mousepad with integrated buttons that supports two finger scrolling. HP brings over the small mousepad from the HP Mini 5102, which is precise and gets teh job done but it feels out of place on such a high quality netbook. The mousepad on the other hand leaves something to be desired. The keys are well spaced, offer good feedback and are not mushy.

In addition to coming with a durakey coating that extends the life of the key coating by 50% (according to HP) and being spill resistant the HP Mini 5103’s keyboard is pretty spectacular. We wouldn’t add the touch option ourselves, but there are users who will want it. Ultimatley the usefullness of this option will come down to the user’s habits.

The hinges and the entire notebook feel very sturdy, especially when compared to most consumer grade netbooks. The Mini 5103 comes with a magnesium alloy lid that does a good job at keeping fingerprints off and provides additional protection. The HP Mini 5103 is designed to meet the needs of a business user, which means an all metal chassis and special coating on the keys to provide a longer life during heavy use. The Touchscreen model and optional handle provide additional incentive for education and institutional users to check this netbook out. The HP Mini 5103 netbook is great for use as a companion computer for business professionals and students who want a bit more durability than a consumer netbook can give. This specific model is outfitted with a capacitive touchscreen that allows you to use your fingers, much like on the iPad or the Acer Aspire 5745PG The HP Mini 5103 we tested has an Intel Atom N455 processor, 1 GB RAM, a 160GB hard drive, 10.1″ screen (1024×600) and a 4-cell battery.
